IntaHootSuite

So this past class we discussed the use of twitter and how it can be made even easier than it was before. They introduced Hootsuite.

At first, I thought they said Woot, which is a website that gives a deal per day, and is (perhaps) most popular for their Shirts (found at http://shirt.woot.com/) to which they almost have a cult following online with their witty and cute shirts.

(An example of one of their shirt designs)

I was about to become so excited and title a post called Intashirtwoot with a catalog provided and everything. This was all going on in my head for about five seconds yet alas, this was not the case and I was brought back to reality that it was called HootSuite. But it was perhaps an even more exciting find.

HootSuite is a social media communications dashboard that allows one to monitor keywords, manage multiple Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and etc accounts. It was quite the hoot, literally. It was the first time I have ever made use of the #hashtags. I think I have a special eye out for #smac504 everywhere I am. Sometimes I am driving and I see an exit, and I can almost see the hashtag there. It reminds me of a friend that I have who thinks she sees facebook notifications everywhere in life. Perhaps this is an example of getting too Inta Technology. See what I did there? I just reinforced the theme of this blog utilizing prior knowledge while making a pun. Win.
